HP 2605 - other colors print fine, but black is wacky

Just disassembled my 2605 and cleaned the mirrors in an attempt to clean up some problems of discoloration. I put back it as well as a new black toner. All the colors print wonderfully a sheet of color. Black only prints about a third of the page and isn't really.  Tried to copy and paste an image of the output.  It comes through hope.  Any ideas?

Hello jgabbard,

I'm sorry, but to get your question more exposure I suggest posting in the trade forums since it is a commercial product. You can do so at: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

I hope this helps.

    Hello

    Thanks for asking! If I understand correctly, you are facing problem with printing from Internet Explorer, which prints very light black color.

    Before you continue troubleshooting, I would get the little information.

    1. have there been recent changes to the system before the show?

    2 is the issue limited to printing through Internet Explorer?

    3 are you facing this problem with any specific Web sites?

    4. do this problem occurs when you print through the files/applications?

    5. have you checked for ink levels?

    It seems to be that the ink in the cartridge must be completed. In the meantime I suggest you carry out these methods.

  • I'm trying to print using my own profile and no color management.   I have found a lead to the Adobe Color Print Utility but reached a point where he declared that she would not work with future versions of the Mac operating system.   I have Mac OS 10,11,

    I have been printing PSD images with my own profiles and color management using an Epson R2880.

    I've now changed to a Mac with OO 10.11.3 and unable to replace the color management.   I found a lead on the Adobe Color printer utility but failed and got a message saying that the utility has only worked with an earlier version of the OS 10.   Is there a way to turn this problem?

    You don't want or need to use the old setting 'No Color Management'. Is no longer the right way to print with a custom printer profile, in the current versions of Photoshop and OS X.

    To use a custom profile to print, use the attached picture settings:

    • In the print dialog box, set the Photoshop color management menu manages colors.
    • Select your profile to the printer in the printer profile menu.
    • In the settings of printer driver Epson (under Printer Setup button) make sure that the Epson printer driver is set to the color - off management.

    I don't know why Adobe Color Printer Utility works in 10.11.3, because I can throw on OS X 10.10 and 10.11. But in the end, it doesn't matter, because you don't want to use it for this purpose Adobe Color Printer Utility is only to print a profiling target, no images. And it won't let you print using your custom printer profile, because the whole point of the utility is to print with no discoloration whatsoever.

  • Wireless J6480 prints fine, but does not scan

    All J6480 printer a HP. It was connected to a desktop HP running Windows XP with a USB cable and printed and scanned OK. Computer for office is dead and has been replaced by a Samsung Windows 7 laptop so the XP installation CD does not work. A printer connected to the laptop and it prints fine wireless but does not scan.

    1 downloaded the HP website OJJ6400_Full_13 and I tried to add an another J6480 but he says that there is already one installed in a wireless port. I didn't go ahead because the printer does not print not good. Should I continue with the installation?

    2 Ran HPSDU.exe diagnostic tool and it said ojj6400 USB HP Officejet J6400 is the only installed printer.

    3 HP Digital Imaging Moniter displays the HP Officejet Series_TMP000 disconnectedstatus.

    Thanks for any help

    I uninstalled the J4680 printer and all HP programs associate. Start - all programs showed no HP at all. I installed the full version of HP J4680 programs and everything works fine. The wireless connection was automatically created during the installation and the scan works very well.

  • Print from InDesign prints fine, but print after that exporting to PDF prints black as gray, low Image quality

    Hi all

    I have a printing problem going on with a document that I am currently trying to print.  When you export to PDF (high quality print or press quality setting, as well as to any possible color output) and then print, black my document go to the gray and the images look washed out.  This does not happen if I print directly from InDesign on my printer.  I tried to change the merger of transparent space, change the color profiles document and corresponding to export options to the options used when you print directly from ID, all without success. the document is always printed wrong when exporting to PDF first.  Any ideas why this might happen when exporting or printing to PDF, but not when you print directly from ID?  Thanks in advance for any help!

    I see.  Is there a way to ID artificially add CMY export in the same way as it does when sending to print?

    Is the destination of the document a composite digital printer or an offset press? If it is composite set your black preference for export fills and convert to RGB on export:

    In Acrobat, the two blacks will be 0. 0 | 0 RGB and will display the same

  • HP Deskjet 3050 cannot load drivers, printing fine but cannot scan

    I can't get the analysis part of my all-in-one to work. Wireless printing works very well. My laptop is running windows 8. It's very frustrating and disappointing. I need to what my printer is capable of using. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi gingert,

    I would say uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once it is uninstalled, I suggest you put your system in clean boot mode in the configuration of Microsoft.  You can do this by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.

    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest to reinstall the HP printer install wizard for Windows.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • HP Photosmart 7520E-all-in-one: black prints fine for text but the black areas in photos come out green

    Black ink works very well for text and text with little color, but when you print photos (on HP Advanced paper which is recommended), printed black areas aqua green, or deep.  Other colors are fine.  How can I fix it?

    The probable cause is a cartrdige Photo print does not correctly.  In the paper here troubleshooting steps can help solve black photo print does not correctly on your printer Photosmart 7520.  The Photo cartridge is on the far left of the printer.

  • I have a photosmart b210 which began printing all my black in gray, the color is very well

    My photosmart started printing any black ink in gray scale. the color is fine, but it's boring. I did matenence, such as cleaning the printheads, printer status report, report print quality (and that was even printed in dark gray)... what should I do?

    OK, let me clarify:

    • Black ink is not used when printing on Photo paper, because it is pigmented and not compatible with shiny media.
    • The most likely issue is having the vents blocked as described in the link I gave you a link.  My post in the link "soak the printhead" told to check first the items displayed in the link, that includes details of the ink level checking and vents are clear.
    • Another likely possibility is the use of third party inks.  Using HP replacement ink ink or a third party?
    • If you do not want to follow the suggestions here then Contact HP for warranty repair.  If you use third party, that repairs are not likely to be covered, ink HP accepts no liability for the quality of third party products.
  • Samsung CLP-510N color printer never worked properly on my Vista PC

    The printer above worked to its full capacity on my old laptop, but tried all sorts to rectify the problem to make it work on my Vista laptop.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times without success.  all my other printers work properly on this laptop, but I can print only in simple black & white pages.  All other functions of the printer do not work as in color, double-sided, or one of its uses/functions that she bought for!

    Whatever it is in color does not print on another in black and white!  I take all the files/documents to any other color printer and it prints OK.

    Any ideas on what is my problem!

    Open Add/Remove Programs, look for windows components (menu L.sub), chk the boxes for printing service

    Also, term, or cmd, type: services.msc scroll service print spooler, double-click it, set to "automatic execution".

    If it is not attached to the level... Another good option, download the utility 'print migrator' Microsoft, it gives the user

Prints fine in black ink only.  copy, scan and fax work well. The test to align the printhead fails.  I am running windows XP, sp3 with all drivers up to date. HP makes no more of this model, I really like the way he worked.  Nice picture Wi - Fi and print present works well (black ink only).   Would like to keep this printer and not lose my current investment of ink cartridges (HP920). The current model uses different inks (of fat) can someone help me.  Thank you.

    Hi JKBATT

    There is no other authorized renovated dealers I know.

    Sorry, I should have mentioned that if you call HP technical support, you can inquire about trade and trade program.  You can always get a new printer if you have decided to go this way.

  • HPO D5560 not print with the black print cartridge

    Having a D5560 printer which stopped printing with the black cartridge.

    Thought it was the cartridge has installed a new (only use HP cartridges) no difference

    After thinking the Black just stopped - no phasing-out quality, etc..

    Ran the cartridge filter (all levels of cleaning) no difference

    Print well if I remove the black cartridge so that the Tricolor print black but it's only good to work around the problem

    I use this on Windows 8.1. It worked fine for months

    Can't think that I had installed recently HP driver updates

    I have a hardware problem?

    Thanks for any input

    See you soon

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620:8620 all in one printer color printing incorrect, even if the quality is good on tests

    My printer is only about a year and I had no problem with him until more recently. I only use hp ink cartridges. It prints color orange when I want to print the colors pink and Red/pink when I want to print Brown. Most of the other colors print normally. I cleaned the print head, which does not help at all and made a print quality test, each test to come out totally fine. Colors are not dimmed, there are no missing lines or anything like that, it's just printing wrong colors from time to time, as on some documents. Any suggestions?

    Hi @mcorinn,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you experience problems printing some documents with your HP Officejet Pro 8620 printer in Mac OS X 10.6. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I understand the frustration you feel. There could be corruption in the files/application on the Mac or a problem with the printer driver. If the 'print quality test' report print correctly, this is not a hardware problem.

    Are you able to print from TextEdit? What were the results?

    If some documents are the problem, they could be corrupted.

    What application you are printing from?

    Try to create a new document with the color to see if it prints correctly. What were the results?

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!
